Advice on modelling CO2 capture from flue gas using microbial path

Question

I'm trying to capture CO2 from industrial flue gas using a microrganism algae to produce algae biomass
Does anyone have any experience of doing this on OpenLCA

Answer 1

We have done this in the SH2E project e.g., the CO2 that is captured is then not an elementary flow but a waste flow (could even be a product but this is unlikely). You can then model the capture process as waste treatment.

Hope this helps,

Andreas

Thank you for your swift response..
1)Please can i have access to the SH2E project
2) what about other components of the flue gas which are not captured since algae biomass is my target product  will i still need to include the residual CO2 in the output because I know OpenLCA cannot take same input and output

"OpenLCA cannot take same input and output" - no that is GaBi (or however it is called now), openLCA can have the same flow on input and output; the SH2E project is here: https://sh2e.eu/.
